Transcribe the words into IPA. 2. Separate the words into syllables. 3. Indicate the stressed syllable. 4. Distinguish the short from long vowels in the case of German. This app only addresses bullet #1 and ignores the others. I give it one star because it’s better than nothing, but it’s still useless to me. I’ll be getting a better app that does the job. ### 5/5 — I love it but needs improvments *2018-08-10* Please make it work with drag and drop on ios 11. It is very important! Thank you! Please update this wonderful app. I will suggest it to all of my singer and conductor friends! ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2014-01-24* It would be nice to have syllabic word stresses notated. ### 5/5 — A must have!!! *2012-11-11* Absolutely Wonderful App. plus No internet connection needed!!

As a classical soloist I am constantly working on new pieces and often need a hand with my transcriptions. It is so convenient to be able to do so while on the go... It's like having a section of your university's music library in your pocket! ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2012-03-03* Super easy to use with accurate results!!! Love this app!! ### 5/5 — Great app!!
